I have been a long time fan of Food Network’s Alton Brown. He is pretty darn amazing, and I have watched him for years. However, I had never read any of his cookbooks.

I recently picked up his newest, Everyday Cook, and low and behold was this dip that I literally had to make asap.

We love dips.

Dips are essential in all aspects of entertaining. You will never step foot at a birthday party, tailgating table, or church lunch without a dip. It’s usually a cheesy dip or a vegetable dip.

Well this dip will put the others to shame. It’s made with Greek yogurt so it’s healthy! It’s packed with protein, thanks to that yogurt, and the flavors are fresh and mighty tasty.

This is the best dip recipe ever! It’s uber creamy, tangy and puts ranch packets and sour cream to shame! Plus it’s just as easy. Homemade is always better, and in the case of this dip…hands down. Yep!

Can you use sour cream or mayonnaise in place of the Greek yogurt?

I would steer clear of the mayo in this dip, but sure; you can totally swap the yogurt for the sour cream. It just want be packed with that protein.

What can you serve this dip with? Just veggies?

Carrot sticks – celery – strips of bell peppers – cucumbers – grape tomatoes – fresh broccoli and cauliflower florets – sugar snap peas – chicken wings – and even a topping for burgers. (the last two were AB’s suggestions!)

This is excellent an excellent dip for carrots and celery dip. It’s a healthy dip for carrots and celery.

How long will this dip stay fresh?

Up to 10 days, in the fridge, in an air tight container. Of course it won’t last that long. If you do happen to store it, like all yogurt, it will separate just a bit, and will need a good stir. And it’s true what they say about most dips…it’s better then next day! The flavors have time to meld together.

Do I have to use fresh herbs?

Here’s a secret…I never buy fresh herbs anymore. They never last quite long enough for me. Since they are kinda pricey, and I hate throwing money away, I buy herbs in the little containers that are partially dried. You can buy them in the produce section, and they are located with the herbs, usually on a shelf right above or beside the fresh herbs. They have the same flavor and last longer. Do not use totally dry herbs that you buy from the spice section.

    This looks delicious! I love veggies but can never find a dip that I really love, I’ll have to try this!

  2. Di Hickman

    March 3, 2017 at 9:42 PM

    Love veggies! All kinds too. This looks like a good healthy alternative to many of the dips and dresssings available in stores. And you can tailor it to your own taste buds!

  3. Jessi

    March 3, 2017 at 9:48 PM

    This sounds delicious! I think I might make this for the veggie tray at my next party

    That looks really good I am not really a big dip person but my husband has been trying to find something he’d like with veggies as he is trying to eat better I should try this and see if it works for him

    I love dips with carrot sticks, it’s the perfect summer snack! This one sounds delicious, will definitely try to make it once it gets a little warmer here in the UK x

    I really love veggie dip and think this would be tasty. I like that fresh veggies could be the perfect dipping medium.

    That dip looks so good. We love veggies and a little dip makes it a little more fun to eat for the kids.

    So much healthier making your own veggie dip this way rather than using a mix with loads of preservatives. Will have to try this and see if my kids will eat more raw veggies with this dip. They have grown tired of ranch and hummus. Pinning for later!

  10. Shelby

    March 4, 2017 at 5:29 PM

    I’ve been trying to eat more vegetables recently and I’m tired of the same old thing. I can only do ranch and hummus for so long. This dip looks perfect! I’d love to try it.

    This veggie dip looks so creamy and delicious. It’s perfect for enjoying veggies since I am cutting out carbs recently.

    I love a good veggie dip, especially when it is a healthy one. Can’t wait to try out this recipe. I have some people coming over in about a week so this will be perfect.

  13. Kristin

    Ohhhh yum! I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate Greek yogurt into my cooking. This looks just delish!

    I could just live off of dips and tapas and snacks I think 😉 I am always looking for new appetizer recipes to take to parties, will check this one out!

  15. Nikki

    March 6, 2017 at 8:25 AM

    Yumm this looks so good! Way better than the plain old bottle of ranch I buy for my kids to dip their carrots in haha.

  16. Amanda Love

    March 6, 2017 at 12:01 PM

    Yes to this very lovely dip! I love collecting dip recipes since the kids and I always have a movie night and we want to be able to have dips for our snacks! I’m totally keeping this recipe. Thanks!

    We are trying to eat more veggies in our house. I have grown to love sliced red pepper and dip. I bet this will be delicious.

  18. Angela Tolsma

    March 6, 2017 at 2:30 PM

    I haven’t made veggie dip in ages. I would never have thought to use greek yogurt! I usually just eat them plain but this would help me eat more of them!

  19. Veronica

    March 7, 2017 at 2:54 AM

    Actually I keep forgetting about making a dip for my veggies. But I should make some because I can then eat more veggies. So simple and healthy.

    Sorry to say this dip was not the best dip ever! I made it for a group of 14. Not many of our guests liked it. Maybe you should call it a low carb dip, but the best ever dip I cannot concur!

    • Donna

      November 18, 2018 at 7:58 PM

      I made the dip for a special occasion, but after tasting it, I knew there was no way I was taking it! it was really bland and was not good with the vegetables at all. I ended up throwing it all away.

  • SWEET & SPICY BACON WRAPPED LITTLE SMOKIES hit all the right taste buds! They are so good you can’t stop eating them…Perfect for game day or a holiday party snack! .
. https://www.everydaymadefresh.com/sweet-spicy-bacon-wrapped-little-smokies/ .
.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound thick cut bacon
1 package little smokies
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If making these to bake now, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Otherwise, do this when you're ready to bake them.

2. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and chili powder. Set aside.

3. Line a baking sheet with foil. 
4. Measure out how much bacon to roll for each little smokie. I got about three little smokies per slice of bacon. It's gonna depend on the thickness of the bacon, etc. 
5. Roll the little smokie up, secure with a tooth pick and thoroughly coat with the brown sugar mixture. Place on baking sheet, and repeat until you've rolled all the little smokies up. If you have extra bacon, just coat it with the brown sugar mixture and bake it as well. So good!! 6. When ready to bake, bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp along the edges. .
